I'm impressed! This compressor is better than I expected.I looked at compressors in the under $200 category for weeks. I never found a Senco in a store to look over, but I wasn't finding anything else that fit my wants as well as this one, so I ordered it and hoped for the best. As soon as I took it out of the box I could see that the build quality beat all the others I had looked at.1. The frame is powder coated and the finish is as hard as tooth enamel. Many others in this price range had painted frames (and tanks), which would eventually chip and begin to rust.2. The discharge hose (hose from compressor to tank) is covered in braided stainless steel. You could drop an axe on it and you wouldn't compromise the hose. Almost everything else I looked at in the stores had a standard EPDM (rubber) hose with internal textile reinforcement. Drop a knife on that and it would probably nick the hose.3. The regulator body is a machined part. Others use cheap cast aluminum.4. The motor is vibration isolated from the frame. Consequently, this compressor is pretty quiet as compressors go. In addition, it stays put and doesn't walk all over the floor.5. It is perfectly balanced at the handle. When you pick it up, it doesn't rotate to one side.I know that cast aluminum regulator bodies and EPDM hoses are adequate, but it's nice to know that this compressor was built with that extra bit of quality. In addition, it is obvious when using this compressor that it meets or exceeds all of the published specifications.I'm very happy with this purchase.UPDATE 4-23-2014:I just used this compressor in our bathroom remodeling job to power a framing nailer. I was sinking the heads of 3-inch nails below the surface of the wood in two 2 X 6's stacked on top of each other, every time. I could shoot about six nails before the compressor needed to recover, and recovery about 10 - 15 seconds. No problem for a small DIY project. And for the record, my framing nailer is cheap! It's no high-efficiency model at all.Also, dialing in the output pressure is really smooth.I am very pleased with this little workhorse. One of the best purchases I've made in years.
